(We're investing a lot of time and effort building a great community here so it's important that we know at least a little bit about our members. Please answer all questions, even if briefly!). #1: Why are you interested in "the business of data"?

Future work opportunities are focused around big data and analytics. Want to start learning about the industry and what big data analysts focus on.

Where do you work (company, institution) or study (school) and what do you do?

I work at 2tor, Inc. as the community manager for the MBA@UNC program at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School where I handle all Social Media, content, and SEO initiatives for the program. I also run Tweet Drive (now Operation: Social Santa), a global toy drive for social media communities that has collected over 6,000 toys since 2010.

Please confirm your first name and last name (we need to create security badges for the meetups)

Introduction

I'm the community manager for MBA@UNC, the online MBA program at UNC & the founder of Tweet Drive, a toy drive for social media communities during the holidays. Looking forward to learning more about data and the analytics side of startup life!

Data Driven NYC (organized by FirstMark), is a community of tech enthusiasts who are passionate about Big Data, data technologies and data-driven products and businesses, in New York and beyond. The community meets monthly at three hour events that include both company presentations and informal networking.

The monthly events focus on the business aspects of the data revolution: startup opportunities, new products, business models, funding trends, emerging players, and ways for existing startups to leverage their data. Technical aspects will also occasionally be discussed, but attendees do not need to have a technical background. While hosted at Bloomberg LP's beautiful offices and sponsored by FirstMark Capital, Data Driven NYC is an independent forum and is open to anyone with a genuine interest in the topic.
